The anesthesia for your caesarean section was two years ago. The new symptoms will almost certainly have no bearing. You should see someone for an assessment that includes a history and physical examination focused on the back issue. Imaging (X-rays or other tests) will depend on the history and examination. The two years without symptoms can reassure you that the pain had no connection with your C/section and the sensation that it is in the same place is simply a coincidence.

Good question, Anesthesia is the process by which unpleasantness associated with medical and surgical procedures can be lessened. Pain is the one that usually comes to mind, but, of course, there are many others (claustrophobia, anxiety, fear, boredom, difficulty breathing, gagging, and so on). There are two broad classes, general anesthesia, where unconsciousness is generated to eliminate awareness of the unpleasantness, and local anesthesia, where a drug (local anesthetic) is injected (usually) to block signals of the unpleasantness getting to the brain. Local anesthetic may be combined with sedative drugs to lower anxiety and lessen awareness of the unpleasantness.
It is considered quite safe to have multiple anesthetics (local or general) in the same year. For root canal, a local anesthetic might be the first choice, but consult your dental surgeon to see which will be best for you both.
Cheers.
Yours Sincerely,
